We numerically investigate the effect of sunlight polarization on the absorption efficiency of V-shaped organic solar cells (VOSCs) using the finite element method (FEM). The spectral distribution of absorbance and the spatial distribution of power dissipation are calculated as a function of the folding angle for s-and p-polarized light. The absorption enhancement caused by the light-trapping effect was more pronounced for s-polarized light at folding angles smaller than $20^{\circ}$, where s-polarized light has a relatively larger reflectance than p-polarized light. On the other hand, the absorption efficiency for p-polarized light is relatively larger for folding angles larger than $20^{\circ}$, where the smaller reflectance at the interface of the VOSC is more important in obtaining high absorption efficiency.

We fabricated 1-D and 2-D diffraction gratings of SiOx anti-reflection (AR) film grown on a quartz substrate and integrated them into a c-Si photovoltaic (PV) submodule. The light-trapping effect of the resulting submodules was studied in terms of the oblique optical incident angle, ${\theta}_i$. As the ${\theta}_i$ increased, solar conversion efficiency, ${\eta}$, was improved as expected by the increased optical transmission caused by the grating. For ${\theta}_i{\leq}30^{\circ}$, the relative solar conversion efficiency, ${\Delta}{\eta}$, of a 1-D SiOx (t=300 nm) grating, compared to that of a flat SiOx AR-coated integrated PV submodule, was improved very little, with a small variation of within 2%, but increased markedly for ${\theta}_i{\geq}40^{\circ}$. We observed a change of ${\Delta}{\eta}$ as large as 10.7% and 9.5% for the SiOx grating of period t=800 nm and 1200 nm, respectively. For a 2-D SiOx (t=300 nm) grating integrated PV submodule, however, the optical trapping behavior was similar in terms of ${\theta}_i$ but its variation was small, within ${\pm}1.0%$.

이 논문은 콜로이드 입자가 기름-물 사이의 계면으로 흡착될 때 필수적으로 존재하는 정전기적 반발력에 대한 실험적, 이론적 연구이다. 광집게(optical laser tweezers)와 피에조(piezo controller)를 사용하여, 개별 입자를 트랩(trap)한 후, 계면으로 강제 전이시킨다. 이때 수용액이 전해질을 포함한 경우에만, 입자가 계면으로 전이되며, 포함하지 않을 경우에는 흡착이 일어나지 않는다. 이러한 현상을 근본적으로 이해하기 위해, 광학 트랩핑 힘(optical trapping force)과 입자와 계면 사이에 존재하는 정전기적 분리압력(electrostatic disjoining pressure)를 정량적으로 계산하였다. 이를 바탕으로, 입자가 계면으로 흡착될 때, 그들 사이에는 필연적으로 문턱 에너지(threshold energy)가 존재함을 밝혀냈다. 콜로이드 입자가 에멀젼(emulsions)이나 거품(foams)등 두 개 이상의 섞이지 않는 유체계면을 안정화 시키는 "콜로이드 계면 활성제(colloid surfactants)" 역할을 한다는 사실을 고려했을 때, 본 연구는 이러한 입자의 흡착 현상을 근본적으로 이해하는데 있어서 중요한 지식을 제공한다.

femtosecond laser를 광원으로 하는 optical tweezers는 광포획 뿐만 아니라 비선형 현상을 발생시킬 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 높은 첨두 출력에 의하여 포획된 세포는 쉽게 손상되어 질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 LTRS(Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy)를 통하여 femtosecond laser와 CW laser에 의한 optical tweezers 상에서의 optical damage를 비교, 분석하였다.

Optical tweezers는 광압(radiation pressure)을 사용하여 입자들을 포획하거나 조절할 수 있다는 점에서 마이크로스케일의 유전체구뿐만 아니라 세포에서도 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 빛이라는 것은 광자들의 집합체로서 광자의 입자성으로 인하여 외부의 물체와 충돌시 운동량을 전달하게 되고 이것을 광압(radiation pressure)이라고 하며 optical tweezers [1]는 이 광압을 이용한 방법중 하나이다. 레이저빔을 입자에 집속 시켜 주게 되면 입자는 광압에 의해서 gradient force와 scattering force의 힘을 받게 된다.

We investigated the influences of Ag nanoparticle (NP) arrays and surface nanohole (NH) patterns on the optical characteristics of 10-${\mu}m$-thick c-Si wafers using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. In particular, we comparatively studied the plasmonic effects of both monomer arrays (MA) and heptamer arrays (HA) consisting of identical Ag NPs. HA improved the optical absorption of the c-Si wafers in much wider wavelength range than MA, with the help of hybridized plasmon modes. The light trapping capability of the NH array pattern is superior to that of the Ag plasmonic NPs. We also found that the addition of the Ag HA on the wafers with surface NH patterns further enhanced optical absorption: the expected short-circuit current density was as high as $34.96mA/cm^2$.

Emission lines ratios were used for diagnostics of and excited level densities in low-temperature plasmas. In this work, an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was used to determine the electron temperature and metastable level densities in low-pressure inductively coupled plasma. The emission spectroscopy method was based on a simple collisional-radiative model. The selected lines of the Ar(4p to 4s) were influenced by the radiation trapping at relatively high pressures where the plasma become optically thick. To quantify this effect, a pressure dependence factor ${\alpha}$(P) was derived by using corrections for the measured intensities. It was found that the lower metastable level densities were obtained when ${\alpha}$(P) increased with the increasing discharge pressure. The effect of non-Maxwellian electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs) on the metastables was also presented and discussed.

Light management technology is very important for thin film solar cells, which can reduce optical reflection from the surface of thin film solar cells or enhance optical path, increasing the absorption of the incident solar light. Using proper light trapping structures in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells, the thickness of absorber layers can be reduced. Instead, the internal electric field in the absorber can be strengthened, which helps to collect photon generated carriers very effectively and to reduce light-induced loss under long-term light exposure. In this work, we introduced a chemical etching technology to make honey-comb textures on glass substrates and analyzed the optical properties for the textured surface such as transmission, reflection and scattering effects. Using ray optics and finite difference time domain method (FDTD) we represented the behaviors of light waves near the etched surfaces of the glass substrates and discussed to obtain haze parameters for the different honey-comb structures. The simulation results showed that high haze values were maintained up to the long wavelength range over 700 nm, and with the proper design of the honey-comb structure, reflection or transmission of the glass substrates can be enhanced, which will be very useful for the multi-junction (tandem or triple junction) thin film a-Si:H solar cells.

1970년 Ashkin이 레이저 광압을 이용하여 수 마이크로미터 크기(micrometer sized)의 유전체를 광속의 진행 방향으로 가속시킴과 동시에 광속축(beam axis)방향으로 입자를 끌어당기는데 성공함으로써 레이저를 이용한 미세구(micro-particle) 의 포획 및 조작에 대한 연구와 실험이 시작되었다$^{[1]}$ . 이후에 많은 사람들에 의해 연구가 활발히 이루어졌으며$^{[2]~[7]}$ , 이러한 레이저를 이용한 미세구의 포획방법은 광집게(optical tweezer)로써 생물학과 물리학 분야에서의 높은 가능성 때문에 지금도 연구가 계속되고 있다.
